85 years ago, the first Social Security check was issued. Social Security has been a lifeline for many New Mexicans, but that is on the chopping block in the Trump Administration. I will fight back to ensure that every senior in NM has the security they need and deserve.

Ok, so you think hungry kids should just go out and get jobs? 🤯 What has happened to the Republican Party!?. When I passed a school lunch bill in 2020, it passed unanimously with full GOP support. This is not normal.

The White House is trying to claim the federal funding freeze that sent millions of Americans into chaos yesterday is a “hoax.”. Firefighters, police, state, local and tribal governments…. Dude, we have the receipts. And, it’s your own memo. We will not be gaslit.

Donald Trump calls his Admin the “New Golden Age," but let's call it what it is: “The Great Betrayal.”. He promised he would address the cost of living and issues affecting Americans. But in just seven days, he's disrupted every aspect of American life. He is chaos.

Straight out of Project 2025! Trump’s OMB has issued a freeze on federal assistance—impacting potentially billions in federal contracts. If you are in NM-01 and are directly impacted please let us know!.

OMB memo sent to me appears to suggest a pause on basically all federal assistance starting tomorrow at 5. Is there another way to read this?

I am so happy to be home! I’ll be spending time in our communities, talking to all of you, giving remarks to the State Legislature, and of course, eating all the chile! . Here’s some updates since I’ve been back in NM-01:

DOGE Dems are ready to work on behalf of the American people. But we have to face the reality that over the last 6 days Trump has attacked federal employees, fired inspector generals, & made efforts to eviscerate the federal workforce. That’s why we’re ready to fight back.

In a late night purge, Trump fired over a dozen Inspector Generals, illegally removing non-partisan watchdogs who ensure our agencies remain accountable to the American people. This is not about government efficiency. We will hold him accountable.

After Trump unilaterally renamed Mt. Denali without any Tribal Consultation—I introduced an amendment in @NRDems alongside @RepTeresaLF & @RepHuffman to require Tribal Consultation in the Committee’s rules. Unfortunately, our GOP colleagues VOTED NO.

As Trump removed the U.S. from international climate agreements this week and unleashed a slew of anti-climate and clean energy executive orders—we’re ready to fight back and protect our air, lands, and waters!

What to know about DOGE: Trump & the GOP plan to go after the Federal Workforce and already have. What we also know about DOGE: We *will* fight back to protect the programs, services, and people that keep our communities and economy going!
